Alright, now the heat is building up for this new Black Eyed Peas album. A new promo single from the album entitled “Do It Like This” just hit the net. Will.i.am spoke to SPIN.com about the track some time ago:
Like the two-part techno-funk epic “Imma Be,” the Black Eyed Peas splice together two club-ready jams into one five minute track. “Do It Like This” was months in the making. Will had left-over beats from working with Usher on “Oh My God” so he wanted to sample fans’ opinions before using them on Black Eyed Peas’ new tunes. After DJ’ing one night in Toronto, Will brought back strangers to play them his creations. “I told them, ‘Don’t be afraid to say its whack. Don’t tell me it’s cool because you’re being polite,’” says Will. “So I played them music and everybody was like, ‘Ugh!’”
Still, Will stands by the beats that make up “Do It Like This,” which has a dizzying, minimal German techno vibe. “I don’t care if you’ve shot a billion people and I don’t care if you’ve sold crack to the Pope,” says Will. “That beat is harder than any attitude or any freakin’ mug-shot face. It goes to a place no hip-hopper would go to right now.”
This song is definitely the sequel to “Imma Be.” With a psuedo-hood feel and ragga styled vocals, the song keeps you bouncithe song is hot but the two sounds do not blend well together but is lovely for those of you with short attention spans.
